Requirements

Setting these requirements, we can then evaluate the best design.

  1. 3D Printable
  2. Has a replaceable filter

Advanced Version

  1. Mechanism for self-cleaning:
    1. For example, extraction of filter and placement in an ozonation chamber?

Notes

  • UV - is shaded by material, so can apply only to surface disinfection, not deep within a material
  • Ozone - as a gas, it has a chance to permeate a material for thorough cleaning
  • Alcohol, bleach - can give off powerful vapors to kill germs, but also don't want to kill humans if vapors persist

Based on these 3 considerations - ozone appears to be the optimal cleaner? Worthwhile to star Open Source Ozone Generator.
